Verse 1
Those who forsake the truth of God
Wander by a thousand paths
Their actions fail to satisfy
Their lust that never lasts

The fleeting thrills of life decay
And leave a hollow cry
But hope remains for those who turn
To God who hears their sighs
He hears your sighs

Chorus
A thousand paths
You have known
But peace comes through
Only one

A thousand paths
But nothing gained
Cuz only one will lead you home again 
Again

Verse 2
Think about where you have been
Ignore all your regrets
This is not a judgment of
The times you can’t forget

Just an observation that
Those paths were dead end roads
Some were fun some were sad
But now all them are closed

Chorus 2
A thousand paths
You have known
But peace comes through
Only one

A thousand paths
But nothing gained
Cuz only one will lead you home again 

Bridge
All the paths behind you
Led you to this place
To the path that leads you home
Back to God’s embrace
His embrace

Chorus 3
A thousand paths
You have known
But peace comes through
Only one

A thousand paths
But nothing gained
Cuz only one will lead you home again 

Outro
Home again
Back to Him
To the place
Of His embrace
Back to Him
Home again
Home again
Home again

Verse 1
Sometimes I think it was wasted time 
The times I spent with you 
But you were the best mistake 
That I ever made

Would never come back to me
But sometimes we grieve unnecessarily
Like the game has already been played

Now every moment, every twist 
Every turn I know

Had a different purpose for me

Verse 1
I got a handful of tunes in my pocket
And some chords to make a song
But it’s a long, hard drive to get there from here
And it’s likely I won’t be there long

But if I don’t start now it’ll never happen
So I’ll give my all, my best
And if I find out that it’s not for me
Then all that I’ll have left is

Chorus 1
Nashville dreams in my dream catcher
Nashville dreams that keep me up at night
Nashville dreams, do they really matter
That dream may never come true, but it might
Cuz I have Nashville dreams

Verse 2
There’s a small  group of friends in Music City
With the same ambitions as me
Maybe our hopes were too quickly formed
Or maybe we’re just naive

But just like them I seem to think
There’s something there for me
And that nothing ventured is nothing gained
Until I move my feet 

Chorus 2
Nashville dreams in my dream catcher
Nashville dreams that keep me up at night
Nashville dreams, do they really matter
That dream may never come true, but it might
Cuz I have Nashville dreams

Verse 1
Well she gave me  a snake for a fish
She gave me all this pain
She gave me a stone for a loaf
And set my house aflame

“”Why” is not a question now
But where will I now sleep?
 “When” may never see and end
What will all this mean?                        
What will this mean?

Chorus 1
Where can I find peace right now
When there’s nothin’ left below my feet
Like a plastic bag floating in the wind
I’ve lost my destiny

Will I finally feel firm ground
Or will I drift through the rest of my life
How could she have such power over me
And leave with no goodbye
I never agreed to this
I never agreed to this

Verse 2
She told me that we could be friends
But her smile masked the truth
She had painted a world of pretend
Then burned it and blamed me too

She left me with nothing but pain
But the scars still whisper her name
The years have come and gone since then
Yet nothing feels the same
Oh nothing feels the same

Chorus 2
Where can I find peace right now
When there’s nothin’ left below my feet
like a plastic bag floating in the wind
I’ve lost my destiny

Will I finally feel firm ground
Or will I drift through the rest of my life
How could she have such power over me
And leave with no goodbye
I never agreed to this

Outro
I don’t know if time will heal
Or make the past more real
Snakes and stones are all I get
Is that the only cure?
I never agreed to this
I never agreed to this
I never agreed to this


I Never Agreed to This

Verse 1
So many things I’d like to change
So many things around me that I see
But maybe I can make the world a better place
By making a better me

Too many people, I watch their faults
Little imperfections that only I can see
But maybe I can make the world a better place
By making a better me

Chorus 1
I’ve been looking outward
When I should look within
The change I want to see
Is where I must begin

It starts with kindness, honesty
And every choice I make
To make the world a better place
By making a better me
Making a better me

Verse 2
I used to speak before I’d think 
Quick to judge and slow to see 
But now I’m learning mercy starts 
With the way I look at me

Each day’s a chance to grow in grace 
To give the same that I receive 
And maybe I can change the world 
By making a better me

Chorus 2
I’ve been looking outward
When I should look within
The change I want to see
Is where I must begin

Struggles, problems, disappointments

Enigmatic doubts arriving
At the wrong time

Finally when I’ve had enough
And I take the time to pray
I discover that’s the time when
Things begin to change

Verse 1
I read the Bible every day
And I’ve never stopped underlining
Thoughts and concepts from words and phrases
Opening my blind eyes

How can one book constantly shape
Everything I do and say
Maybe your word was given to us
In a supernatural way

Your wonderful word
A lamp to my feet
Giving me wisdom
All that I need

From Your wonderful word

May I never ignore or forget
Your words unto me

But Yours endure all time 
Living and active, sharp as a sword 
Cutting through heart and mind

I was always looking for security and permanence growing up in a chaotic home in the chaotic 1960s. I found both in Jesus, my forever friend.
Verse 1
Out of the house and over the hill
Someplace where I can’t be found
No one to tell me it’s time to come home
Hold my tail to the ground

When I was a kid these were my thoughts
These were my dreams in school
To be in a place where I could be safe
In a place where I made the rules

Pre-chorus
Maybe I was searching
Not for someplace new
Maybe I was yearning
For fellowship with You

You, my forever friend 
You, where broken hearts can mend
You, on whom I can depend
You, my forever friend
My forever friend

Verse 2
Didn’t really wanna be involved 
With the uncertainty of school
Friends were few and far between
And some friends could be cruel

All I wanted was a person who
Would love me and never leave
And You showed up just in time
And revealed Yourself to me

Pre-chorus
Maybe I was searching
Not for someone new
Maybe I was yearning
For fellowship with You

Chorus 2
You, my forever friend 
You, where broken hearts can mend
You, on whom I can depend
You, my forever friend
My forever friend

You, my forever friend

My Forever Friend

Verse 1
Too much I seem to contemplate
All the things I need
I think about the things I’ve lost
When gratitude should proceed

Pre-chorus
My heart forgets so easily
The good You’ve done for me
But still You pour out daily grace
And love that sets me free

Chorus 1
A hundred times as much I have received
A hundred times as much In this life
Blessing and provision
Comfort and joy
Didn’t matter when I was hired that day
Cuz it’s all because of Your desire

Verse 2
I measure pain too carefully
And count what I can't hold
Tell myself You’re all I need
Then forget what I was told

Pre-chorus 2
My heart forgets so easily
The good You’ve done for me
But still You pour out daily grace
And love that sets me free

Chorus 2
A hundred times as much I have received
A hundred times as much In this life
Blessing and provision
Comfort and joy
Didn’t matter when I was hired that day
Cuz it’s all because of Your desire

Outro

Of Your desire


Because of Your Desire

Verse 1
Keep it simple just believe
And those mountains will recede
Use the faith that you receive
Then watch how God will meet your needs

Don’t refine or complicate
The effectiveness of your faith
It’s a gift not a guarantee
God’s will will always supersede

Chorus 1
Faith like a tiny seed
Planted with this belief
That one day you will see the tree

Faith is a seismic shake
That’s all that it will take
To move those mountains into the sea
Simple faith

Like a child who simply knows
Their father sees and always shows
His love is real never far
So faith believes just as we are

Chorus 2

Faith like a seismic shake
That’s all that it will take
To move those mountains into the sea
Simple faith

Give me faith Lord
Simple faith like Yours
Give me faith Lord
Simple faith just like Yours

Chorus 3
Faith like a tiny seed
Planted with this belief

Faith like a seismic shake
That’s all that it will take

Outro
Simple faith of course
Simple faith like Yours
Simple faith  
Oh Lord
Simple faith



Simple Faith

Verse 1
Out in Wichita, Kansas
Out on the wide and open plains
We took our families met our friends there
And we lifted our refrains

Thousands gathered and still more came
As the days turned into weeks               
There was weeping there was crying
As the mourners filled the streets

Chorus 1
Bleeding Kansas
Again a sword has come
Bleeding Kansas
The will of God be done

Bleeding Kansas                      
The right to life we cried
Bleeding Kansas
Must pre-born children die?
Must they die?

Verse 2
There was a killer George Tiller
Who garnered folks distain
Pre-born children were his victims
Who never saw the light of day

Many sat down near the clinic
Holding signs of their dissent
TV cameras found a few there
Who let angry feelings vent

Chorus 2
Bleeding Kansas
Again a sword has come
Bleeding Kansas
The will of God be done

Bleeding Kansas                      
The right to life we cried
Bleeding Kansas
Must pre-born children die?
Must they die

Verse 3
Legislators made their judgments
And they finally got their way
They cleared the sidewalks filled the jail cells           
So injustice won that day

Chorus 3
Bleeding Kansas
Again a sword has come
Bleeding Kansas
The will of God be done

Bleeding Kansas                      
The right to life we cried
Bleeding Kansas
Must pre-born children die?
Must they die
Must they die
Must they die

Bleeding Kansas

Verse 1
All the walkways I have traveled 
All the sidewalks I’ve been on
All the miles I have journeyed
All these ways for so long

All the sign posts I have passed
All the maps that I have followed
All the dreams that I have chased
Still You’ve shown me where to go
 
Chorus 1
Through every storm
Through high and low
Your faithful hand 
Won’t let me go

You guide my steps
You calm my soul
You are my constant goal
I am never alone

Verse 2
All the roads that led to nowhere 
All the turns where I felt lost 
All the dreams I left in pieces 
All the lines I had crossed

All the voices I have followed 
All the lies I came to know 
All the times I lived in shadows 
Still You never let me go

Chorus 2
Through every storm
Through high and low
Your faithful hand 
Won’t let me go

You guide my steps
You calm my soul
You are my constant goal
I am never alone

Bridge
The journey starts
The journey ends
You never leave
You never send
Me out alone
You’re closer than a friend

Oh the journey starts
The journey ends
You never leave
You never send
Me out alone
You’re closer than a friend
 
Chorus 3
Through every storm
Through high and low
Your faithful hand 
Won’t let me go
You guide my steps
You calm my soul
You are my constant goal
I am never alone
Never alone
Never alone


I Am Never Alone

Verse 1
I had a dream
Or was it a memory?
About a time long ago
When I lived in the throes
Of insecurity

I saw it again
Last night on an old movie
About a man late in life
Who saw no reason not to die
Cuz life had no meaning

Chorus 1
So I’m  thankful I’m surrounded
By a God with loving hands
By a God who gives life meaning inside a
Beautiful plan

I’m so thankful that I serve a God
Who proved His love for man
By dying on the cross and offering  me
A beautiful plan

Verse 2
I had a fear
Or just an old worry
That I would fall from grace
Lose every single trace
Of His security

But that was the voice
The voice of  the enemy
Cuz the God that I love
Soon assured me of
His love for me

Chorus 2
So I’m  thankful I’m surrounded
By a God with loving hands
By a God who gives life meaning inside a
Beautiful plan

I’m so thankful that I serve a God
Who proved His love for man
By dying on the cross and offering me
A beautiful plan

Bridge
Eternally secure 
By the holy work
Of His dear Son
His Son so pure

What a beautiful plan
Redemption and
Relationship with Him forever

Chorus 3
I’m so thankful I’m surrounded
By a God with loving hands
By a God who gives life meaning inside a
Beautiful plan

I’m so thankful that I serve a God
Who proved His love for man
By dying on the cross and offering me
A beautiful plan
A beautiful plan
A beautiful plan 

Beautiful Plan

I wrote this sitting on a beach in fall, stars blazing overhead, heart stirred by Psalm 8:
“When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers… what is man that You are mindful of him?”
In that moment, creation itself seemed to worship — trees raising bare limbs, waves gently whispering, stars painting the sky with His love.
This song is my response: a prayer, a praise, a reflection.

Canvas of Your Love

“The righteous shall live by faith.” — Romans 1:17
This song is a heartfelt reflection on what it means to stand before God with no safety net — just faith. Faith to believe. Faith to obey. Faith to live.

By Faith

There’s something sacred about the sea. The way it carries memories, calms storms—or creates them. This is a song I wrote to remember a journey on the Chesapeake Bay… the wind, the dolphins, the danger, and the stillness that came after.
🌊 Acoustic. Honest. Story-driven.

Chesapeake Sails

An uplifting melody about always finding hope, truth, and peace in the Lord. Whether you're walking through a storm or just need a quiet place to rest your soul, this song is a reminder: we are never alone. God is always there — a friend, a counselor, a refuge.
🎧 Give it a listen, share it with someone who needs encouragement today, and let these lyrics lead you back to the One who never lets go.

You Are Where I Go

A country song straight from the heart ❤️🎸🤠
I was thinking about that classic Willie Nelson tune 🎵 Always on My Mind, and I had a silly thought— I love my wife deeply, but I don’t literally think about her every second of every day.  Life’s full of responsibilities, demands, deadlines...  but even in the middle of all that, she’s almost always on my mind! That thought inspired this song. This song is honest and real. 🎧 Give it a listen ❤️ Share it if it touches you 👉 Tell someone today who’s almost always on your mind

Almost Always on My Mind

A solemn journey through shadows and truth. With a prominent acoustic and a vocal at first… this raw, emotional track opens in stillness — minimal drums, just a man laying bare the soul’s battle with self, culture, and the quiet pull of truth. 🔸 Vibe: Reflective. Honest. Deeply human. This song speaks to all of us who’ve been lost in the noise — and are longing for something real again.

Back to Loving You

A heartfelt worship anthem of surrender and grace.
🙏 Sometimes we forget who we serve. We strive, we stumble… but God remains faithful. This new worship song is a return to that sacred moment — humbling ourselves before the One who gave everything for us.

Bow Down

Life’s moving fast—and sometimes, it feels like we’re all just chasing something that never satisfies. We build, we strive, we dream... and still feel uneasy. This song is for everyone who’s felt that quiet desperation—and for everyone who knows that the answer isn’t in us. It’s in Jesus. 🔥 A call back to faith in a world that’s forgotten where true hope lies. If you've ever wasted time chasing things that don’t last… this song is for you!

We Need Jesus

“Tattoo” — inspired by Ephesians 1:13 “…you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.”
What if your soul had a tattoo no one could see—but God marked you as His, forever?
🕊️ This song is about that seal—the Holy Spirit, God's eternal mark of love, ownership, and identity. No ink. Just grace. 
Listen now and be reminded that you belong, you're sealed, and nothing but His will will come to pass.

Tatoo

"Everyday Walk With Jesus" 🎶
Life isn’t just about the big moments—it’s about the everyday steps we take with Him. This song is my heart’s prayer: to keep Jesus in view, to walk closely with Him through every joy, every trial, and every ordinary day.

Everyday Walk with Jesus

Life’s full of plans… until they flip-flop. One day it’s all lined up, the next—woah, didn’t see that coming. This is a rockin’ ride through life’s unexpected twists, with riffs that hit as hard as reality itself. Certainty? Yeah… about that. 😏

Flip Flop

Every day brings decisions… big or small. But when we make the right one—the one that pleases God—we can change the future and help bring “His Kingdom come.” This song is a heartfelt reminder to trust His plan, lean on His strength, and let love lead the way—one choice at a time.

One Choice at a Time

Life may change, seasons may shift, but His promises never fail. This song is my heart’s reminder of the One who is faithful and true, who draws near when we draw near to Him, and whose peace covers every storm. 
If you’ve ever needed hope… If you’ve ever needed peace… If you’ve ever needed to be reminded that God’s Word never returns void— This song is for you. 

Promises Promises
